Police on the Isle of Man say they're 'committed' to trying to keep young people away from a life of crime.
That's despite what the Chief Constable has described as a "difficult year" for the Youth Justice Team which had its budget slashed by the Department of Health and Social Care.
The multi-agency public protection unit works with children who've committed crime in a bid to reduce reoffending as Detective Inspector Neil Craig explains:
Between April 2015 and March this year 30 youngsters were subject to a 'Final Warning Caution' - of these 13 went on to reoffend.
In addition 48 cases were taken through the court process - Sergeant Kevin Quirk says this isn't always viewed as a negative outcome:
TT footbridge construction to close road
Police name biker who died in Ballamodha crash
Peel cars return home
Benefits claimant abused staff
Euro game road closures approved
Whale and Dolphin watching event on Sunday
Northern lights a possibility this weekend
Can we use the UK NHS app?
